"UhโฆI suppose?" Rice mumbled, holding out the mask for El to take.
"I had no idea you looked like that under the mask." Looking to the ground, she tugged at the collar of her uniform.
โThank you though..!โ
As she smiled, feeling happy now. Keeping her into the hug as she blushed.
โAs a rewardโฆ want to hang out then?โ
As she felt calm with the mask back now and delighted now
"Oh, uhโฆ?" Rice tilted her head, taking a moment to process just who she was talking to. She certainly didn't LOOK like El. Not without the mask on.
"IโฆIt blew under my dorm room door. It was sitting in the middle of my rug."
@ItsyMidnight โR-rice?! You found it?!โ
As she got up to hug her now. Speaking yo shyly.
โItโs meโฆ EI condor pasa. Suprised?โ
As she stared at her and kept her into the hug.
โA rare sight to see me like this huh? W-where did you find it by chance?โ-
Rice walked the main courtyard of the Academy, looking down as she held Elโs mask in her hands.
โPoor Elโฆ She must be distraught. And now that Iโm holding it the Goddesses arenโt letting us findโโ
And then she bumped right into her.
As she tried her dorm, she tried other places now. Though she didnโt give up.
As she sat down in a bench now.
โI will be maskless huh? Today anyway.โ
Not knowing rice was close by now as she didnโt look up for now
Rice went around the Academy trying to find El. In the dorm buildings, the main ground, the cafeteria, library, practice trackโฆ Rice had seen a couple of Luchas de Apuestas matches, so she knew the significance of a luchadorโs mask. If too many people saw El without itโฆ
As she was on her end, she didnโt give up. It had to be somewhere.
As she kept a calm mind or attempted to. โDonโt tell me it is not hereโฆ? If soโฆ I have to pray someone found isnโt In the trash.โ
As she looked more, hoping to find though as she tried to keep a calm mind
โlying on the floor beside her. Once she finally did, her eyebrows raised.
"Huh. How did that get there?" she said, hopping out of her bed and picking up the mask. "I suppose I should bring this back to El."
Rice was relaxing in her dorm room, reading one of her favorite picture books, when the famous, distinctive mask of El Condor Pasa found its way underneath her door and right into the middle of her rug.
Absorbed by the book, she took a long time to notice the foreign clothโ
Starter for @ItsyMidnight
As she was looking for her mask that went missing in the dorms. Unknowingly, it was picked up by the some wind from the door open and went under Riceโs dorm now.
โW-where?! Where is it..?โ As she couldnโt find the other pairs, Grass hid-
@UmaHalfMachine Rice's face is beet red at this point, having to cover her nose to make sure it isn't bleeding. Since when did Bourbon have all of that?!
"B-bourbonโฆ" she mumbled, visibly distressed. "If you're getting too hot, maybe you should showerโฆ?"
"Nng..."
Bourbon is struggling recently. With the weather beginning to warm up, she's had issues with humidity build up.
"This is... unoptimal."
She looks over at the electronic fan she had specifically to cool down.
Broken, due to malfunction.
